Great shots! Love the content!

Brilliant, thank you!

Hi ! Bruno. Nice talk. (He's visited me in Michigan !) You might want to show 2 additional curves representing the 2 axles. This is intended to show the load sensitivity of the 2 types of tires. Plus the differences in the effect of load on the slip angle at peak Fy. 3 types of tires for this phenomenon.

Great content!

Great!

What a fucking cracking bloke, REspect mate💯

Nobody was stopping black kids from getting into motor sports

Greetings from Sydney - another ex-Stokie/Cheshire lad here. Love to hear Melvyn's accent. My father grew up on the Kidsgrove Miner's estate (mixed English/Polish background). My God father was mixed race.

What a Top Bloke.

One thing that instantly pops out, the right front axle(the most sensitive part of the aero package on right turns) produces less downforce when the car goes over bumps. It's the combination of weight transfer, reduced aero load as the car runs over it's own tire wake, and less force on the contact patch as the heavy bump causes the car to skip across the road. Sunset is a fantastic corner to analyze from a dynamics perspective, really forces you to mind your racing line to avoid the biggest bumps. The entry to the corner is very fast which makes picking the right entry angle even more difficult. Good vid.

Great information, but the tic tok look is not the best way to present this. Id like to see you slow down and take time to explain the details with more intensity towards the exact moments, pause, zoom in, and provide the viewer a more complex overview of your intentions when watching video feeds. Both real-time and post. These tid bits of information are crucial for the laymen to understand, with your skill, knowledge, and presentations, you are a great choice for for this topic. Keep up the good work.

What a top dude 👌🙏

With the right mindset, a person can overcome anything.

Melvyn was my corporal whist stationed in fallingbostal Germany serving with the Staffordshire regiment he guided me to be a good person so much respect for him always new he would be SAS x

Melvyn is an amazing guy, I remember seeing him on the TV show and immediately recognising his accent as a fellow Stokie, a great guy from Stoke. Makes me proud to be from the potteries. One thing about people from Stoke is that they are warm and good hearted and Melvyn embodies this.

It's been 2 weeks my plaster was removed. When I do exercise my patella was free but after walking for 2-3 minutes again it becomes stiff .

I'm mixed too. Catholic and prodestant. My family hated us. I went to prody school and had to fight daily.

The car will be at 80 Km/h only at the end of the straight line. Most of the race is at 30-50 km/h and lift (downforce) is proportional to the scare factor of the speed. Those wings must penalize the team a lot for the cost report.

A proper & robust Ackermann geometry must be defined by at least 2 turn radii. Otherwise, there is an infinite number of solutions to produce the single only value, involving static toe, compliance and the steer arm geometry. Anti-Ackermann is an understeer REDUCTION technique. It also gets mixed up in mid-g_level steering gain issues, especially for a car that's slightly oversteering to begin with and you want to have a specified limit behavior. A higher Max_lat usually comes along with this too. But, like everything else, you can overdo it. The rear should also be subjected to mods to maintain your balance. Once you know the minimum turn radius and one other high speed turn radius (plus the tire data). The solution is fixed. Keep in mind that there are 3 types of tire properties that you need to be aware of: Peak Fy advancing in slip angle with increased vertical load, no change in Peak Fy slip angle with load, and Peak Fy slip angle reducing with Fz loading. The first is more common, but plenty of the other ones around... Oh, and you need to know your wheelbase, too. Sometimes BOTH of them....

1:28:50 Great advice.

Hello Can you do me a favor and say what was the angel of attack you end with and the features of the spoiler shape English is not my mother language and I'm trying to find an idea because I hope to make a wing for my car and my car is not that fast and it's not for heavy races it's pretty much a city car. Most people make fake wings only for the look but I wanna make one which do something back there besides the look. I will be thankful if you suggest me an angel and a shape for my spoiler. Hope you the best❤

i know melyn personally i went school with this guy what a warrior melyvn his god bless

Met melvyn at the boxing last Saturday with his pal Billy proper gentlemen it was a pleasure to meet and thank them for their service 👏👏👏

Melvyn is a national treasure! He even makes me want Stoke to stay up. This is the man young kids need to look up to.

I grew up in Stoke by the old Victoria Ground with a lot of people who came over from the West Indies. Doug Brown later became first black Lord Mayor. Know Shelton Etruria Cobridge really well. All multi cultural areas but blacks were charged more to rent than whites so there was a lot of overcrowding & insanitary households amongst immigrants through absolutely no fault of their own. Could tell this fellas accent straightaway. At the time Bentilee was the biggest council estate in Europe. My grandad who fought in the Korean War lived there. Full of decent hard working people. After the 1980s the pottery industry, coal mines & steelworks all shut down and drugs took over. First posting to Bandit Country in 1984. Covert operations. My mate was in Sat Comms & used to climb the masts there being shot at by Republicans. Many farms in South Armagh straddled the border with NI and the Republic. Republican ASUs could go into a farm cross over into the Republic & become untouchable. British Soldiers were not allowed to go over & get them although some covertly did, allegedly. Belfast Londonderry & South Armagh were the main Army bases (Crossmaglen) but South Armagh was the most dangerous. Great to see Melvyn do so well with his life. A Real Stoke on Trent Hero. Should be supplied with oatcakes cheese & bacon for the rest of his life. Well done Sir. Great podcast. 4:25

Melvyn is the epitome of a mixed race SAS Blade if ever there was one. As another former SAS blade said, Melvyn was the first SAS guy he had ever seen and was the type of guy that he expected to be one. A true out and out soldier in persona and one of the toughest, humblest guys to were that famous beret. The guy is a legend,and personally, i couldn't care less if he's mixed race,he's an out and out British warrior, and he proved it.🇬🇧

It has been 3 weeks since my patella fracture but I am not able to lift my leg.

Inspirational guy 👍

Theres nothing like our shit weather to create resilience amongst our Squaddies. Spend 3 weeks in the Brecons or on the North Yorkshire Moors with the Yanks when it's windy and pissing down and you'll see how we shine as Brits.

You guys are engineers and don't understand the 5252 factor on a dyno graph?!?! Google is your friend.

If u find the right role it isn't work its u. Solid man...

Excellent discussion!

Just love the fact that there are characters like Melvyn out there who refuse to be boxed in or knocked down. Inspiring. Skies the limit with the right mindset. Massive respect.

I got to say one of the most inspirational things I've ever heard was when he said & during the 1st gulf war, that in an armoured vehicle, the commander is supposed to sit at the back of the vehicle. This is so, if anyone refused to leave the safety of the armoured vehicle & while bullets are flying around, as the commander you can & will "push them out", if some are scared. He went onto say (& long the lines of), "I did it differently. I was at the front and said to my men, when I go out the door you all better be with me. If anyone stays in the vehicle, I'll come back & shoot you. " Before I continue, please note personally, I don't think he's joking & something tells me & during the heat of the moment he would have done it, regardless of the consequences. He goes to say, "and when i saw all my men with me, that sense of pride".........😢 What a story, what a memory, what a man🇬🇧

Mel is a great guy. I worked with him in Baghdad, 2004 to 2007. What a laugh! I used to go to his gym sessions too. Has some fantastic stories to tell. I think I heard most of them over the four years. The nutter from the Big Smoke!

Wot an Amazing Gentleman.👍🇬🇧

It’s crazy how similar I am to him and my life story. It’s also crazy to me how both of them are older than me and yet I’ve also faced the same forms of racial discrimination and hate.

I had a Gollywog when I was a kid. Because of it I got used to the idea of black people even though there were none in my town. Since then I have always had black friends, playing in bands etc.

Great interview very honest

Was in 2 para in cross mcglenn in a small recce platoon for 8 hours same stuff mate cannon camera etc I know

are you allowed to drive if you are a student with racing experience or does it have to be a beginner cause i think i read that somewhere?

Got a lot in common with Melvyn , same age also from staffs council estate , joined up at 16 , JLR RAC , didn’t go the same route ie SAS, but had a great time in the army, so could relate to what he says and thoroughly enjoyed your chat mate, if I see you around I’ll shake your hand mate maybe a beer 🍺

It was funny listening about how the SAS selection is the hardest in the world and the British "mentality" makes people pass. HAHAHA. Firstly, please don't suggest that SAS selection is the toughest in the world. There have been people who have passed SAS selection that didn't even train for it. So, no disrespect, but if you have people that can pass selection without even training for it, it's not that difficult. Also, I would actually argue that Delta Force's selection is the toughest in the world. You have to take into account that there have been several Army Rangers that have passed SAS selection. Mind you, the Army Rangers are not even close to being a tier 1 American unit, and if they can pass SAS selection, just imagine how easily Delta Force soldiers would pass. Lastly, please DO NOT suggest that British mentality is what helps them pass SAS selection. No disrespect, but majority of the kids in Britain have not had hard lives by even Western standards. Sure, you may have a couple of them who experienced some troubles in their lives, but so has every other person on the planet. Believe it or not, but British kids are some of the most privileged kids in the world.

what a very intelligent guy

I absolutely love this guy. Brilliant inspiration for so many demographics of society. So likable. Great interview style too - let him crack on with the stories and minimal interpretations. Great podcast.

Watching this for the second time its that good on both sides,interviewer and interviewee!Superb.😁👍👍

Awesome bloke.

Big respect melv, scfc forever. Say Aup to del for us

What a great interview Thank you for your service
